Dear Dish-It: What is Love?

Love? Is that a real thing, or not? I looked it up in the dictionary, and there was nothing!

Shay

Dear Shay,

Love is probably something you’ll spend years trying to define – unfortunately, it’s not as easy as looking it up in the dictionary!

In fact, you may find yourself feeling like you’re “in love” several times in your own life – and, each time, it may feel slightly different to you. What I’m saying is that, at the end of the day, love means different things to different people at different stages of their lives, and it’s generally a wonderful thing as long as you learn to keep your balance and not fall “head over heels” into it. Remember – love is supposed to feel good. When you find it, try to savor that good feeling rather than worrying about labeling it or trying to define it somehow.

Everytime I ask my dad for something, its no. Yesterday I asked if I could go to the 5sos concert, he said no, and I asked why. He said there was no one to take me. My friend offered to take me, since she is going. I asked for money for the ticket, and he asked how much it was. I said it was $24, and he said that is too much and that he just bought me a phone yesterday. (my phone was an update, IT WAS 99 CENTS!) My friend then offered to pay for my ticket, and I told her I couldnt let her do it, she has bought me too many things already. WHat d0 i do? How do I convince my parents? It will be my first concert.

You're pretty, you're beautiful in your own way. Um, I guess you should talk with teachers/adults about it and I know it'll be tough for you, but ignore what they say and just be you!

throughout school I have always been picked on weither it be because of my interests or just my personality. In middle school I was called ####### everyday by all the guys in my grade. One of my teachers even bullied me and my mom never believed me because my teacher was so nice to her... I ended up crying on the 3rd day of my freshman year because the kids in my class were so mean to me... I'm gonna be a sophomore in highschool this year and I really don't want to go back to school because I'm afraid that it will be a repeat of freshman year... I need advice on how to make the best of the rest of school if I have to deal with the people that bully me...
